Right Plant, Right Place
We meticulously select Missouri native plants, naturally adapted to our climate and soil. This thoughtful placement dramatically reduces the need for excessive watering and chemical fertilizers, ensuring robust growth and longevity.
Water as a Resource
Through innovative designs like bioswales and rain gardens, and the strategic use of permeable hardscapes, we effectively manage stormwater. This approach minimizes runoff, recharges groundwater, and creates efficient, naturally irrigated landscapes.
Healthy Soil, Healthy Plants
A thriving garden begins with vibrant soil. We enrich our landscapes with organic matter through composting and mulching, enhancing moisture retention, promoting beneficial microbial activity, and delivering essential nutrients naturally.
Create a Living Habitat
Our designs extend beyond aesthetics; they forge vibrant ecosystems. By cultivating native flora, we intentionally attract and support vital pollinators like bees and butterflies, along with beneficial birds and insects, weaving a rich tapestry of life into your landscape.

Purple Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea)
A quintessential prairie bloom, known for its striking purple petals and medicinal properties. This drought-tolerant perennial is a favorite among bees and butterflies, bringing vibrant life to any garden.
Butterfly Milkweed (Asclepias tuberosa)
Bursting with brilliant orange blooms, this essential host plant is critical for the survival of monarch butterfly caterpillars. Its deep taproots make it incredibly drought-resistant and a pollinator magnet.
Little Bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium)
An elegant ornamental grass providing year-round interest with its graceful form and stunning coppery-red fall color. Its extensive root system contributes to erosion control and deep soil health, thriving in dry conditions.
Aromatic Aster (Symphyotrichum oblongifolium)
A late-season hero, this resilient groundcover bursts with cheerful lavender-blue flowers, providing crucial nectar for pollinators preparing for winter. Extremely drought-tolerant and adaptable, it offers beauty when many others fade.
Permeable Hardscapes: Paving the Smart Way
Traditional concrete and asphalt surfaces create massive water runoff, contributing to erosion and polluting our local waterways. At Meridronvexalto, we design and install elegant permeable hardscapes—utilizing specialized pavers, gravels, and advanced grid systems—that allow rainwater to slowly percolate through the surface. This innovative approach naturally waters your surrounding plants, significantly recharges the underlying aquifer, and helps filter pollutants from the water. It’s a functional, beautiful, and environmentally responsible solution for driveways, walkways, and exquisite patios that endure.
- Reduces surface runoff and prevents localized flooding.
- Minimizes erosion on your property and surrounding areas.
- Filters harmful pollutants, improving local water quality.
